Varsity Playbook: How does this work?

It’s simple really..

Varsity is designed to ensure a consistent flow with no interruptions or transitions unless arranged by the children attending that is. (They have Venture Time scheduled everyday so this takes up our buses).

Why did we do this?

We needed to ensure:

Full staff focus and attention is solely dedicated to the attending children

Shifts remaining the same and key workers have consistent time with their key children

Pick up and drop off stresses and anxieties are reduced for staff and children

Activities, events and trips have longer running times

The Team get longer team planning and reflection daily for the next day

Continue to build stronger relationships with families.

What are the benefits for Children:

They are fully aware of their schedules

They create healthier habits: attention, focus, life styles

They are actively involved with planning their day instead of ‘the have to do’s’

It expands bonding time

Reduces anxieties, upsets, tantrums

Their abilities to plan and problem solve increases

The attention to detail in development and interests are not over looked

They will feel valued

They will develop self praise and confidence about who they are and what they expect of themselves.

Benefits to families:

Better home routine

Reduced mixing up of communication between different settings

Reduced costs – we can send this if you need to compare

Increased 1-1 meetings and designated times with the Varsity Team

Knowing that your child will be able to express themselves, confidently and with a greater understanding of what they are expressing develops a stronger bond.

Parents, children and the Team will learn and grow together.

Like all Curriculums it is imperative to attend regularly – (Yes even if you have enrolled your child in a non compulsory Preschool place you need to attend everyday or it will be taken from you) so we made it a little easier on the childcare purse strings.

Everything with our sessions is included: pull ups, meals, trips, events – the lot and we don’t charge for closures!

The following sessions available for Juniors Varsity are:
• 8am – 2pm = £22.00 per day (for 5 sessions) (Parent’s pick up time is between 2pm – 2:30pm – this is free too)
• 8am – 6:30pm = £35.00 per day (for 5 sessions)

You can choose between full days and the Varsity sessions within the week – but to be in Varsity as we said to have full benefit of the Programme attendance is important.

Your child does not need to be potty trained to enrol- we will work with you.

If you feel your child still needs a comforter – we will work with you.

If your child has particular areas that require additional support – we will work with you.
